Speaker of Parliament Anitah Among has revealed that Paul Akamba (Busiki County) who was recently kidnapped from premises of High Court, after initially securing bail is currently held up at Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) headquarters, answering to fresh charges to another crime he is accused of.
Last week, MPs Yusuf Mutembuli; Lwengo Woman MP, Cissy Namujju and Paul Akamba were sent on remand to Luzira prison for allegedly soliciting a bribe from Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) boss Mariam Wangadya.
Also, CID summoned MPs Michael Mawanda and Ignatius Wamakuye Mudimi, over their alleged involvement in corruption and theft of funds meant for Cooperatives.
Addressing parliament, Among revealed that she had agreed with Police to present her with summons of all MPs, instead of Police picking up her MPs anyhow.
“One thing I insisted to Police is that, if you want to arrest my members, give the summons to me. Because originally, they would like to pick people anyhow, I said, give me the summons. And as you bring the summons, it shouldn’t be on hearsay, the list of 30 sijuyi those things. Tell me exactly why you want this person. I have the summons and as I speak now, Akamba is at the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) headquarters answering charges on allegations of another case,” she
